Probably every transmission repair specialist was keen on LEGO constructions or at least enjoyed making some minor things with their hands. Here's the game taken to a new level of creativity!

Modern auto industry is full of sophisticated drivetrain technologies which are supposed to make your driving experience even more pleasant and trouble-free. Despite a great abundance of sophisticated technical solutions, it is highly likely that very few people know a transmission solution operating like a manual CVT.

Over recent years engineers developed a lot of gear shifting solutions for different car brands, which may seem a bit unusual for oldtime drivers. In this article we will review the most peculiar gear stick technologies and provide video materials related to these technologies.

Only few people know about transmission concepts which were popular 70-90 years ago. For men of today, these gearboxes may seem very unusual and weird, but even now some gearboxes that date back to those years are quite competitive in comparison with modern transmissions.

Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.

Automechanika Dubai 2018


As the greatest international automobile after-market parts exhibition in the Middle-East region, Automechanika Dubai cooperates with large Saudi Arabian and Iranian automobile markets. This event also serves as the major commercial intermediary for problematic markets, uniting Middle-East, African, Asian countries and main CIS members.In 2017 the exhibition involved 1,955 participants from 57 countries. They revealed the latest achievements of automobile after-market businesses to 30,322 guests. This event attracts close attention from representatives and enthusiasts of auto industry, turning the exhibition into a major source for establishment of business ties. It is a promising event to keep up with the latest developments in this field, come across new vendors, explore possible options on the automobile market. Product groups presented at this event usually include: auto parts and components (engine and transmission parts such as valve body, torque converter, solenoids, seals, sensors, bands, friction clutches etc, chassis, charging tools, transformed and remanufactured parts, body, standard parts), electronic mechanisms and systems, car care products, repair and maintenance services (workshop equipment and tools, bodywork repair, paintwork, towing service etc), car customizing, and more.Now its time for 16th Automechanika Dubai, which will provide representatives of auto industry with a great opportunity to encounter personally a lot of exhibitors during the 3 days exhibition.
